A wisp of air from
the wings of a butterfly
sailing into fall.
P.S. Poetry is so not my thing and never has been but while walking on Fort Campbell's Clarksville Base trail one day I was inspired to try to write a haiku because the feeling of a butterfly flying up into my path brought a wisp of air to my face. The touch most soft and kind. This is my one and only entry into the poetry arena and while it does not rhyme it does follow the classic 5/7/5 syllables of haiku (the only kind of poem I remember from high school:) I debated sharing it but said why not. Hope you enjoyed the photos of the butterflies, and if I've misidentified any please do let me know. The butterflies have been simply wonderful this year....
